RECARE December newsletter

The CCRI is one of 27 project partners working on RECARE – a 5 year EU project which is looking at measures to prevent and remediate against soil degradation in Europe. RECARE has just published its December 2015 Newsletter.

The main aim of RECARE is to develop effective prevention, remediation and restoration measures using an innovative trans-disciplinary approach, actively integrating and advancing knowledge of stakeholders and scientists in 17 Case Studies, covering a range of soil threats in different bio-physical and socio-economic environments across Europe.

Dr Julie Ingram, Dr Matt Reed and Jane Mills are the CCRI researchers involved in the project, which runs from 2014 to 2019.
